Oh my! A hard lesson well learned, one he will never forget, and probally laugh at when he's older. Hopefully he will ask questions before doing something like this again.
You must be in the Northern part of Texas. I am vacationing in Donna in the Rio Grande Valley and its quiet warm here.
Oh my turtle soup for the New Yr. I knew what the rest of the story was before I even read it. Teach him Maria. Lillian & a Happy New Year
Oh dear! What a disaster for him and his pets. Maybe it's not too soon to get him researching how to do such things on the internet or perhaps in one of those old-fashioned things -books!
We have a turtle that my daughter got when she was 15, shes now 31 and married. but We still have the turtle.:)
And don't parents often end up with the pets that their children 'just had to have'! More often it's a dog or cat, so you're probably getting it easier with a turtle having less requirements and costs to look after :)
When my daughter was two she put a bar of soap in with our tropical fish.....same results. She just wanted them to take a bath. Kids will do strange things but then so do we sometimes. Have a blessed day!
Tropical fish can be quite tricky at the best of times. All it takes is forgetting to turn the water heater on, as happened once when my ex and I moved house :(
Grandmother will probably go and buy him some more turtles,he likes to do his own laundry, get breakfast ready,etc., and still manage to make good grades.He was very sad.
Oh I feel sorry for him ! especially when it comes from a good intention !
Quite a surprise for him for only having such good intentions!
this is just so sad.....I know that helpless feeling...thanks for sharing....
